2.162

經曰「無有虛偽」至「先意承問」者,述云:此第二、利他離染也。無虛諂心者,即離意過。和顏者,即離身過。愛語先問者,即離口過。有說:先意承問是意業。非也。雖言先意,遂言問故。

Regarding the passage from "there was no falsity" to "anticipating others' intentions to inquire after them": The commentary states: This second part is abandoning defilement for the benefit of others. "A mind free of falsity and flattery" means abandoning faults of the mind. "A gentle countenance" means abandoning faults of the body. "Loving words and inquiring beforehand" means abandoning faults of speech. Some say that anticipating others' intentions to inquire after them is bodily or mental karma. That is incorrect. Although it says "anticipating their intention," it follows by saying "inquire"; therefore [it is vocal].
